Church and concert organist, pianist, and musicologist,
Dr. Gillian Ward Russell, has always lived in Essex and worked as a church organist in the Dioceses of Chelmsford and London, although her recital work takes her as far afield as the USA and Europe, besides playing all over the UK.
On the organ she has gained a reputation for showing the instrument’s versatility -- in particular its ability to create moods, convey emotions and to entertain. Gillian believes in the power of music to communicate directly with her audience and she uses this to great effect in all her concerts, often displaying her Christian faith through the music she selects to play.
